Ukraine: mayonnaise production catching up with last year

Ukraine’s fat-and-oil industry seasonally boosted mayonnaise production in the latest two months.

Large and medium-sized manufacturers made 12 KMT of this product in April that is a three-year high but slightly down from the previous month (12.1 KMT). A lag is still observed behind last year, though it decreased to 3.8% against 5.7% a month earlier (41.7 KMT in January-April 2016).

Taking into account this year’s trends, analysts predict the 2017 production volume of mayonnaise to be no smaller than last year when its output amounted to 126 KMT. (UkrAgroConsult/Business World Magazine)
